W300 3" I-Lag™ Eye Lag Screw for Wood

The W300 eye lag screw provides a direct attachment point when ceiling wire or jack chain must be anchored to wood framing. Its open eyelet accepts a pre-tied wire or chain connection, while Type A wood threads engage the framing member for tension-only overhead support work. We supply this fastener with a clean electroplated zinc finish that does not leave oily residue on hands, gloves, or installation tools.

For small corrective work and larger commercial layouts, the W300 eye lag screw is available in 100-piece and 1,000-piece pack quantities. Hook and Hanger stocks it for installers who need repeatable attachment points for routed wire, low-voltage pathways, and suspended components in dry indoor settings.

Establishing Stable Wiring Paths with the W300 Fastener Series

The W300 eye lag screw is a steel fastener for wood-framing applications where the installed load acts in tension. Its 3-inch overall profile and extended threaded section provide structural engagement in suitable timber joists or framing members, while the eyelet creates a defined connection point above the work area.

The electroplated zinc finish provides a clean handling surface for dry, indoor installation. The fastener can be handled, staged, and loaded into compatible tools without transferring residue to gloves, wire, or equipment. It is not a substitute for an engineered connection where lateral loading, corrosion exposure, or unsupported structural conditions are present.

Product documentation identifies ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-4272, RoHS compliance, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act compliance, and production in an ISO 9001-approved factory. These references assist purchasing teams when reviewing submittals and material requirements. Installers must still confirm approved load, framing condition, applicable building requirements, and the installation method for the specific project.

Sizing and Technical Specifications for the W300 Eye Lag Screw Series

Key physical and operational specifications include:

• 3-Inch Overall Profile: The fastener measures approximately 3 inches overall to establish solid engagement within structural wood surfaces.

• Extended Thread Pitch: A minimum 1-1/2-inch section of aggressive thread increases the continuous gripping area in the wood member.

• 1/4-Inch Nominal Gauge: The 1/4-inch nominal Type A thread diameter supports standard overhead wood-fastening tasks.

• Clean Electroplated Zinc Finish: The finish forms an oily-residue-free zinc barrier for dry, indoor applications.

• Pre-Tied Capability: The open eyelet allows crews to tie ceiling wire or jack chain before physical placement.

• Lagmaster® Pole Tool Integration: This eye lag screw works with matching Lagmaster® pole tools so crews can install from the floor when conditions allow.

• Tension-Driven Engineering: This hardware is designed for tension applications only and must be used within approved project limits.

Standard Installation Procedures and Structural Integration Workflows

Start by reviewing the ceiling plan, locating the intended structural wood member, and marking the required drop points. A crew can pre-tie ceiling wire or jack chain through the eyelet, then drive the W300 eye lag screw into the timber joist with an approved pole tool or hand tool. Seat the fastener fully without damaging the eyelet or overdriving the threaded body. Maintain planned spacing so each drop point follows the support layout rather than forcing wire around obstructions.

For a suspended ceiling, the eyelet provides a controlled wire attachment point above the grid. In broader cable management work, it can support orderly routing for low-voltage cable, fiber optic pathways, and communication cabling when the specified support method permits it. The loop can also work alongside approved j-hooks and other hanging systems, keeping pathways clear of sharp edges, compression points, and unsupported spans.

Field supervisors should coordinate placement with the hardware assigned to the structure. Purlin clips may be used on applicable steel framing elsewhere in the facility, while beam clamps provide an alternative where attachment is made to structural steel rather than wood. Angle clips and threaded rod fasteners serve separate support and framing functions, so select them only where the design calls for their connection method. This keeps material selection aligned with the substrate and planned load path.

Pairing the W300 eye lag screw with overhead drilling and anchoring tools and compatible extension poles can reduce repeated climbing for suitable floor-based work. Confirm clearance, use the correct personal protective equipment, and inspect framing before each installation sequence.

Advantages of Optimizing Overhead Wire Arrays with W300 Eye Lag Screw

The W300 eye lag screw supports practical installation control in several ways:

• Floor-based placement with professional pole tools can reduce ladder or scaffold use and speed repeat overhead work.

• The oily-residue-free surface supports clean handling and helps limit tool slippage or debris transfer.

• ARRA and RoHS documentation can support federal, state, and environmental procurement reviews.

• Pack options of 100 or 1,000 units let purchasing teams match layout volume and maintain appropriate field inventory.
